Introduction
The borehole instability has been a major concern while drilling the shale formations. The economic
concerns along with the borehole instability need an immediate address while drilling shale formations
(Jain and Mahto 2017). The cost of drilling the shale formations has seen a surge of over three times as
compared to the conventional drilling mud. The problems of shale swelling in the borehole are
predominantly because of rock fluid interactions (Kang et al. 2016). The mud filtrate from the water-
based mud comes in contact with the shales present in the system. This shale and filtrate interaction
cause the shales to swell as water moves into the interstitial space present between the shale layers. The
water repels the cations present on the surface of the shale, causing it to swell (Zhong et al. 2013). The
swelling of shale leads to the blockage of the pore throats leading to the damaged wellbore. It can be
mitigated by implementing emulsion-based muds. The emulsion-based mud is prepared by adding oil
as a dispersed phase into the continuous water phase. However, the oil-based mud is further changed
to make oil as a continuous phase known as invert emulsion mud. The invert emulsion mud needs
additives to keep the oil/water dispersion for a desirable period. Invert emulsion mud has proven
advantages over the conventional water-based mud. The major advantage is their capability of
mitigating the problems of clay swelling in water-sensitive formation.
Water-based drilling fluids are increasingly being used for oil and gas exploration. They are more
environmentally acceptable than oil-based or synthetic-based fluids. Unfortunately, their use

facilitates clay hydration and swelling. Clay swelling, which occurs in exposed sedimentary rock
formations, can have an adverse impact on drilling operations and may lead to significantly increased
oil well construction costs. Minimizing clay swelling is therefore an important area attracting an
enormous amount of interest from both academia and industry. The mechanism responsible for the
swelling of clay minerals must be understood to add acceptable clay swelling inhibitors which must not
only significantly reduce clay hydration but must also meet increasingly stringent environmental
guidelines while remaining cost-effective (Tiwari et al. 2020).
The invert emulsion mud maintains the integrity of the formation by inhibiting clay swelling. It also
provides lubricity to the system, reducing the torque and drag in highly deviated wells (Humood et al.
2019). The physiological and rheological properties are more resistant to the changes when exposed to
elevated temperatures and pressures. Oil-Based Mud (OBM) are inert to salt and anhydrite contam
ination. They also provide better cutting carrying capacity as compared to the conventional drilling
mud system. Compared to conventional vertical hole drilling, extended reach drilling wells with long
horizontal sections require higher driving torque. This is because of the increased drag on the drill
string, drill column, casing, and other equipment. This has led to higher friction and wear on the
drilling equipment. Friction and wear preventive properties of oil-based drilling fluid is therefore
important to keep oil extraction economical and sustainable. Many hydrocarbon producing nations
have strict environmental laws over the usage and disposal of oil-based mud (Almudhhi 2016).
To mitigate the problem caused by diesel oil-based mud, there is a need for eco-friendly drilling
mud. Scholars have been trying continuously to design OBM with better performance and minimum
environmental concern. Oseh et al. prepared the bio-diesel-based drilling mud using sweet almond
seed oil and showed that it has comparable rheological and filtration properties to that of conventional
OBM (Oseh et al. 2019). In another study about the drilling mud, Dardir et al. prepared a synthetic-
based drilling mud using ester amides, which was highly biodegradable, lesser toxic, and also
environment-friendly (Dardir et al. 2014). Said and El-Sayed prepared the oil-based mud for HPHT
well using fatty acid methyl ester as a base fluid, which was also biodegradable and concluded that
OBM displays better performance characteristics in HPHT conditions (Said and El-Sayed 2018).
Abdou et al. compared the performance of WBM having carbon nanotube with OBM and suggested
that there was a need to prepare a new WBM that could act like OBM but has a lesser harmful impact
on the environment (Abduo et al. 2016). It has been documented in the literature that the drilling fluid
can be designed as per the requirement of the field using natural oil as a substitute instead of
conventional diesel oil (Paswan et al. 2016).
A potential source of base oil is Jatropha Curcas, which is biodegradable owing to its natural origin.
It can reduce the environmental effects of the OBM while keeping all its advantages. Jatropha Curcas
has the added advantages of rapid growth, higher seed productivity, and is suitable for tropical and
subtropical regions of the world (Maroušek et al. 2013). They are highly biodegradable, have higher
flash and fire points, better thermal stability, and are less hazardous compared to diesel (Adesina et al.
2012). Oil extracted from Jatropha Curcas seeds shows a negligible detrimental impact on the fertility
of the soil. Also, the cost of Jatropha oil is approximately around 0.64 $/liter whereas diesel costs
around 1 $/liter (Fakharany, Khaled, and Mahmoud 2017) which shows its economic viability. Since
drilling is one of the costliest jobs which roughly costs around 60 MM$/well for an exploratory well
hence, minimizing cost is crucial (Amado 2013). Substituting conventional diesel oil with Jatropha oil
can be very cost effective (Vochozka et al. 2020). Previous study have reported the preparation of OBM
with vegetable oils to minimize the harmful impact of OBM on the environment (Sulaimon, Adeyemi,
and Rahimi 2017). Zang et al. have used sodium stearate to stabilize the emulsion-based mud in
presence of CaCO3 nanoparticle (Zhang et al. 2015). The present study identified and used sodium
stearate as a primary emulsifier for preparing jatropha oil-based emulsion mud.
The current study focuses on the characterization of Jatropha oil using Gas Chromatography-Mass
Spectrometry (GC-MS). The Jatropha oil-based invert emulsion OBM was prepared using
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) as a viscosifier Chrome Lignosulfonate (CLS) as a fluid loss reducing
agent and Barite as a weighting material. Stability of the emulsion was checked for 24 h by conducting

an emulsion stability test. Additionally, effect of pH on emulsion stability was also understood, along
with the effects of organophilic clay, CMC, CLS, and barite on the rheological and filtration properties
of Jatropha oil-based mud. The shale dispersion test explored the suitability of Jatropha emulsion as
a shale stabilizer. The present studies compare the efficiency of Jatropha-based drilling mud with
conventional diesel-based mud, hence the diesel mud was also prepared and tested under same
conditions. The comparative study assesses the effectiveness of the rheological and filtration properties
of Jatropha mud over diesel oil-based mud.
Experimental
Materials
Jatropha, and Diesel oil used in the experiments were purchased from the local market. Sodium
Stearate of 98% purity was obtained from Central Drug House, India. N, N-Di Methyl Formamide
(DMF) of purity 99% was purchased from Fisher Scientific, US Carboxymethyl Cellulose of purity
99.9%. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, India provided the Chrome Ligno-Sulfonate of purity 99%.
Organophilic bentonite and barite were purchased from 20 Microns Limited, India. The experiments
used the Deionized water from the ELGA LAB water purifier with resistivity 18.2 MΩ.cm. All
materials were of analytical grade and were used without further purification.
a polar solvent was used to enhance the stability of the primary emulsifier/stability of the invert
emulsion by enhancing the solubility of primary surfactant. Hamilton Beach Mixer, USA was used for
preparing the mud under consideration. A six-speed rotational viscometer (Fann, USA) was used to
perform the rheological studies. Also, the studies were conducted to investigate the effect of viscosifier
(organophilic clay and CMC), weighing material (barite), and filter loss agent (CLS) on the rheology of
the mud. The fluid loss studies of the Jatropha-water OBM are performed using series 300 LPLT (Low-
Pressure Low Temperature) filter press by Fann, USA as per “API RP 13B-2” standards. The API filter
press experiments are conducted by applying a differential pressure of 100 psi across the mud cell at
ambient temperature conditions. The filtrate discharged from the mud chamber was collected from
the bottom. The test was conducted for over 30 min (API Standard Procedure) and reported as the
fluid loss.

stability of the emulsion. The emulsion formed was stable for 24 h. A sudden increase in the voltage
across the probe after 24 h illustrates the onset of phase separation in the emulsion. The onset of
voltage fluctuation is low at the beginning of phase separation. This low variation at the beginning is
because of the presence of the oil, a dominant non-conductive phase. With passaging time, the
variation in voltage increased. This variation illustrates the dissociation of the emulsion. Figure 3
illustrates that as the voltage variation increase the phase separation increase with time. The rise in the
voltage across the electrode could be attributed to the electrical bridge formed in the emulsion, as

a result of which the electron movement was easier (Ali, Schmidt, and Harvey 1987). With time the
emulsion would have settled resulting in phase separation. This could also give rise to the increase in
the electrode potential. Similar study on the electrical stability of the emulsion were performed
previously (Growcock et al. 1994). They have investigated the effect of the concentrations of additives
on the electrical stability of the oil-based mud.
same. The optical images of the emulsion with variation in the pH suggests a more stable as the pH of
the emulsion increases from 7.5 (originally) to 8.5 (Figure 4). The micrograph images show that the
emulsion is stable over the wide range of pH, but its stability was up to 1 h only. As the pH of the
emulsion approaches 8.5, the stability of the emulsion increased up to 24 h. However, the basic
environment enhances the adsorption and stability of the ionic surface-active agent giving higher
stability at 8.5 pH.

varied from 30°C to 90°C after aging at the rheology measurement, was found to be 7%. This low value
ensures that mud remains stable even after aging at 105°C.
The AV values degraded 12% before hot rolling, whereas the same was 10% after hot rolling. This
degradation in AV could be attributed to the breaking of the complex viscosifier (polymer) into
smaller chains. The chains thus formed have lesser molecular weight as compared to the polymers.
These broken chains are less effective in keeping the viscosity constant; thus, the viscosity decreases

with temperature. Greater thermal stability of the Jatropha mud suggested that it would be able to
withstand at reservoir temperature and provide better performance in lifting the drilled cutting out of
borehole. Similar trend of the rheology was also reported in the previous study (Perween et al. 2018).

Conclusion
The net electrostatic charge governs the stability of the emulsion, which is pH controlled. The
highest stability of the Jatropha was found at 8.5pH. The Jatropha oil invert emulsion mud is
thermally stable as compared to that of diesel mud with the same composition. The Jatropha mud
has better rheological and cutting carrying capabilities as compared to that of the diesel mud.
Jatropha mud showed lesser thermal degradation in AV values as compared to that of Diesel mud.
Thermal degradation in the AV values was found to be 26% and 58% for Jatropha and Diesel mud,
respectively. Jatropha mud also showed the better filtration properties with 3.4 mL fluid loss and
0.793 mm thickness of mud cake for LPLT filter press. Jatropha oil is biodegradable and is less
toxic as well as cost effective as reported in an earlier study, which gives it an edge over diesel oil.
More study needs to be performed on Jatropha emulsion before its application in the actual field.
One of the applications could be use of Jatropha as a base fluid and not as an emulsion in drilling
mud. This type of mud can be used in water-sensitive formations such as Shales. Another potential
field of study for the future research could be the addition of nanoparticles in the Jatropha mud.
The addition of nanoparticles will further improve the performance of the drilling mud both in
rheological and filtration studies.
